Abstract
A non-polarizing, Bragg-reflecting liquid crystal display is provided including a first and second substrate, liquid crystal material located between the first substrate and the second substrate. A fiber-optic faceplate may function as a first surface. Alternatively, a fiber-optic faceplate may be located on the side of the first substrate opposite from the liquid crystal layer. The fiber-optic faceplate may include optical fibers that extend between a front face and a rear face and fiber cladding materials located between the optical fibers. The fiber cladding material may be further opaquely masked on the front face.
